While the cherry blossoms are in full bloom in various parts of Aomori Prefecture, Mutsu Bay is actively fishing for the spring taste "Telmessus acutidum", which is a specialty of Aomori Prefecture.
The thorny crab that can be caught at this time in Mutsu Bay, Aomori Prefecture, is also called "hanami crab" locally because it was eaten at the cherry blossom viewing table, and it is said that the female with eggs that can enjoy a particularly rich taste is exquisite. I am.
In Noheji Town, which faces Mutsu Bay, fishing began around the beginning of this month, and now is at its peak.
Of these, a small fishing boat by fisherman Hiroki Tamura also headed for a fishing ground about 13 km offshore around 5:30 in the morning of the 22nd.
Then, when I pulled up the gill net that I set up the day before, the thorny crabs with a body length of about 15 cm appeared one after another.
After that, when I returned to the fishing port, I used a metal tool called a "key" to carefully remove the crabs from the net.
Hiroki Tamura said, "I'm glad I got a lot of crabs. I can only eat them at this time, so I definitely want you to taste them."
It means that the telmessus acutidum fishing in Mutsu Bay will continue until around the end of May.
